5,000 aid trucks await authorization at the Rafah border

Palestinian Prime Minister Mohammad Mustafa and the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Badr Abdeatty made their first visit to Egyptian border crossings with Gaza.

It is the only point of entry shares that Gaza shares with a state other than Israel, but access to Gaza from there is now closed and under Israeli military control.

Long queues of trucks loaded with supplies expected to be erased to enter by another Israeli crossing nearby.

The UN says that more food now in Gaza after images of hungry children have triggered international outrage. But they say that much more help should enter, and much faster.

The BBC International International Correspondent, Lyse Doucet, has traveled with the ministers.
